Bookmaker Ladbrokes has officially stated that it will continue to take bets on the vertical, responding to news reports that it had closed down its eSports market.

eSports Betting Report was the first to notice that the online bookmaker had taken eSports off the virtual shelf. The reports by esportsbetting.com stated that eSports would no longer be offered as a market, and Ladbrokes cleared up these rumours.

The bookmaker detailed that the rumours of its eSports closure were simply a misconception between the news source and its customer support services. It stated that its eSports market had been closed temporarily in order to carry out improvements to the vertical.

Commenting on the matter, PR Manager and Head of Ladbrokes News, Alex Donohue, said: “We have been in the process of upgrading our eSports product. At no point have we decided to stop taking these bets, and we will shortly have more markets available to all our customers.”

Ladbrokes is a British-based betting and gambling company that aims to provide its customers with an enjoyable experience available from its shops to its website, mobile app, and phone services to make betting simple and fun.

Ladbrokes will also be showcasing at the biggest upcoming gaming event of the year – SiGMA16. If you are interested in coming to watch Ladbrokes as well as the many other great exhibitors at this iGaming summit in November, click here to register today.
